An analysis is made for free convective flow about a vertical cylinder embedded in a saturated porous medium, where surface temperature of the cylinder varies as xλ, a power function of distance from the leading edge. ...

The Hawaii Geothermal Project well HGP-A has undergone a two-year testing program which included cold water pumpdown tests, flashing flows with measurements of temperature and pressure profiles, and noise surveys. These ...

Phase I of the Hawaii Geothermal Project (HGP) consisted of a two-year study on the potential of geothermal energy for the Big Island of Hawaii. It was primarily a geological and geophysical survey program, with supporting ...

The problem of steady free convection in an island aquifer, confined by caprock at the top and heated by an impermeable surface from below is considered. The governing non-linear partial differential equations are approximated ...

This Report is intended to provide an overview of the current status, anticipated future development efforts and realistic financial prospects for a large-scale geothermal power production and submarine electrical transmission ...

Now that high temperatures have been encountered in HGP-A, additional importance is placed on a comprehensive analysis of all of the scientific data that has been accumulated by the Project over the last three years. ...

This document Phase III quarterly progress report of Hawaii Geothermal Project from January 1 to March 31, 1977. The report is divided into three: Management-Coordination (includes quarterly activity from January to March, ...

The Hawaii Geothermal Project was established to focus the resources of the State and the University of Hawaii on a coordinated research effort leading to the development of geothermal power on the Big Island of Hawaii. ...

Progress is reported on the following: well conditions; perforating and cementing; temperature-depth plot; slotted liner, well head and auxiliary equipment; well testing and analysis program; well monitoring during standby; ...

An analysis is made for steady free convection of groundwater about a hot dike trapped in an aquifer of infinite extent. Within the framework of boundary layer approximations, similarity solutions are obtained for a class ...
